Across the world, climate change is driving deadly heat — but it will only worsen unless we end fossil fuels

    To be fair, it will continue to worsen after we stop using fossil fuels for a few years since the effects “ramp up.” So if this is bad now, we should really stop ASAP.

      Yeah I feel like at the pace the earth works, we’ve pretty much guaranteed a couple of generations of misery even if we solve this today. It won’t be solved today, not with the shit they have us fighting each other about. Meanwhile, Musk and Bezos saw Wall-E and have taken cues.

      Also, we won’t stop using fossil fuels. Not anytime soon, not early enough to stop the disaster ahead.

        While I am of the camp that we will not stop using them any time soon due to their other uses (plastics, lubricants, synthetics, ect.) I strongly feel that we should stop burning them. There is no reason for the emission and GHGs to continue. Though I also wish we could put more effort into finding total fossil fuel replacement for the other uses as well.
